How To Make A Mini Pinata
Step one:
Take an old cardboard box and cut out the template for the shape you want to make. Then trace the template and cut out second.
Step Two:
Cut out one long strip of cardboard 1 1/2″ in width, the same length as the circumference of the shape.
Tip: measure with guiding a string around the circumference of the pinata shape.
Step Three:
Then tape it all along the shape of the template.
Step Four
In the second template, cut a rectangle on the side. Then tape to the other side.
Step Five
Then fill with candy, or money, or confetti.
Step Six
Tie a draw string around the piece you just cut out and lightly glue in place.
Step Seven
Take strips of tissue paper fringe, (made by cutting strips of tissue paper then cutting fringe along one side) and glue in strips all around the body covering the body of the pinata.
Step Eight:
Add scrunched fringe all along the top to give it a finished look.
Step Nine:
Use hot glue gun to attach string so you can hang the pinata.
